Drinkwell Pet Fountain

Pet water fountain is a healthy way to get ferrets to drink more water

*

Quiet motor, trickling water attracts ferrets to drink!

Ferrets like nothing better than clean, fresh water. But even when they have plenty of water available, some ferrets do not drink enough for good health. They are simply finicky about tepid, standing water in their bowl.

To make sure your ferret drinks all of the water she needs, get her the Drinkwell Pet Fountain. This well-made fountain delivers a continuous, trickling flow of filtered water to the delight of your ferret. Its 5" falling stream continually aerates the water, ensuring more healthful oxygen with your ferret's every drink. Runs so quietly, all you will hear is the sound of running water; it is quieter than most faucets when they are left running.

Just fill the Fountain with water, place it in desired location, plug it in, and adjust the flow rate knob to suit her preference. Filters are reusable (for up to two to four weeks). Just rinse and replace. Charcoal filters remove bad tastes and odors, for fresher water your pet will want to drink.

The base Fountain holds six cups of water. With the optional 50 oz Reservoir Attachment, the capacity doubles to twelve cups, plenty of water for any cat and her mates, and an added measure of comfort for home-alone pets.

Drinkwell Fountains should be cleaned regularly to keep the fountain running smoothly and to ensure your pet has the freshest water possible. Keep your fountain clean

Tips on use: When being introduced to the Drinkwell Pet Fountain, your ferret will probably have the good sense to be cautious of this new and unusual object. After beginning operation of the fountain, just let your ferret adjust at his or her own pace. Some ferrets take several days or longer to begin use. Ice cubes can be added to the bowl for refreshing ice-cold running water.

Operation: Fill with water and plug unit in to begin continuous recirculation. Add water to the bowl as needed. Water first falls onto a ramp in the bowl, which reduces the noise and splash of falling water. Yet the flowing action still breaks the surface tension of the bowl water to draw in oxygen from the air and aerate the water. Aerated water tastes fresher. You can see it working by the tiny bubbles it creates.

Whether by foot or by car, traveling with your small pet can be fun, safe, and easy if you pack smart. The selection of small pet carriers and pouches grows every year, making travel with your small pet more comfortable than ever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Little Water fountain
I have two of these. One for my German Shepherd and the smaller one for my cats. All my animals have become spoiled now and will not drink out of a plain bowl of water. They want the filtered water from their fountains. The fountain itself is easy to clean and refill and both my fountains are almost 9 years old. They obviously last a long time. I definitely recommend the Drink Well water fountains for anyone with pets.

I have had Drinkwell fountains for years and needed a replacement. The last one I purchased was noisy, but when I called Drinkwell to inquire as to a solution, I was told to take it apart and rub a little vegetable oil on the impeller. That sounded odd, but I tried it and it worked. I wanted a back up, so I bought this newer model with a submersible pump. When I first plugged it in, it was very loud, but after about 20 to 30 minutes, it became almost silent. I guess the parts just needed to settle into place. I highly recommend this fountain. My cats love to during running water. It does not splash on the floor and just makes a white noise running water in the background. If you have any concerns, the customer service people at Drinkwell are happy to help. Foster&Smith were also a big help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Harryottosmom Easy to clean
The fountain is very easy to clean, it comes apart except for the motor which comes off to clean the rest of the unit. I like the long cord, the fountain can be placed in an out of the way corner. It is pretty quiet too. The only thing I don't like is that I have to put it on a towel because Harry likes to play in it and splashes water all over the floor!

My ferret loves water. The sound helps them to go by it and in turn drink more often. :) I did have to tape the lid down because the ferrets would knock it off.
